The mechanic s got a clank in his car
And the preacher s thinking thoughts that are wicked
And the lover s got a lonely heart

Chorus:
I will be my brother s keeper, not the one who judges him
I won t despise him for his weakness, I won t regard him for his strength
I won t take away his freedom, I will help him learn to stand
And I will, I will be my brother s keeper

Now this roof has got a few missing shingles
But at least we got ourselves a roof
And they say that she s a fallen angel
I wonder if she recalls when she last flew
There s no point in pointing fingers unless you re pointing to the truth
CHORUS (2x)
